Virtaal is a graphical translation tool. It is meant to be easy to use and
powerful at the same time. Although the initial focus is on software
translation (localisation or l10n), we definitely intend it to be useful for
several purposes.

Virtaal is built on the powerful API of the Translate Toolkit. “Virtaal” is an Afrikaans play on words
meaning “For Language”, but also refers to translation.
